In particular, this book focuses on food as an analytical category in the study of tough masculinity as represented in American hardboiled fiction. Through an examination of six American novels: Dashiell Hammett's \u003ci\u003eThe Maltese Falcon, \u003c\/i\u003eRaymond Chandler's \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBig Sleep, \u003c\/i\u003eLeigh Brackett's \u003ci\u003eNo Good from a Corpse, \u003c\/i\u003eDorothy B.

Marta Usiekniewicz shows thatfood and eating also reflect power relations and larger social and economic structures connected to class, gender, geography, sexuality, and ability, to name just a few.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-07-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031291593\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-29160-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 237\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44522000842892,"sku":"9783031291593","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031291593.jpg?v=1777997454","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031291593","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
